The larger issue, I think, is the hopelessly blinkered outlook that religious people almost always have regarding their own faith. It is a rare Muslim or Christian or Jew who will come right out and say, 'My holy book instructs me to slay the innocent on behalf of my loving god.' The advantage atheists hold in this regard is that we're on the outside looking in. We can see these 'sacred' writings for what they truly are - barbaric, savage manuals written by barbaric savages that do support, condone and instruct their followers to butcher the innocent for the crime of being different.
